The S50 may well be my winter project, pictures warts and all will be posted 😉 yes I learnt a lot with the little engine. Cheers Gary

Thanks Rick will do👍

Hi Alan good luck with the S50 Stuart engine build. Stuart make some very nice engines.
I have an H10 Stuart engine that runs very well.I run it on air at some of my club events.
Keep us updated on your progress and plans to build .

Hi Alan, and well done I am full of admiration for your efforts on the metal machining front, which will definitely help when you get around to the S50 a very nice stationary side valve. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the castings, mind considering the cost they should be spot on. Please post a photo or two of the oscillating (wobbler) when complete. Regards, Gary.

Hi Alan,

Lovely little engine, looking forward to seeing more.


Cheers,
Stephen.

Thanks Gary, yes the piston is machined for a supplied o ring. I have the Standard to paint up then final assembly. 👍

Thanks mturpin013. At the moment its compressed air, I have a Stuart S50 lined up next. Then maybe a boiler is in the offing. Model engineering is a polar opposite to my day to day as a wood machinist 👍

Well done Alan, I think I'm another "Slack-Handful"
member,
Out of interest what type of boiler are you going to use/make

Well done on the steam engine. Satisfying when you see it running. As Gary said welcome to the steam side. A small group inside a larger group of boat modelers willing to help when ever needed.

Congratulations and well done. I felt I had to drop you a line as there is only a slack handful of folks on here who are into steam. Out of curiosity did you fit an O ring on the piston? Plus an O ring on the con-rod where it goes through the bottom plate would be useful. Please consider yourself to be a member of "The Slack-Handful Club". Regards, Gary.
